46A-13-35. Defects not affecting substantial rights disregarded in suit to avoid assessment or invalidate proceeding--Substantial defect--Rights of parties determined by court-Reassessment. Any defect or irregularity not affecting the substantial rights of the parties interested, occurring in any proceeding under this chapter, shall be disregarded in any action or proceeding seeking to avoid any assessment or to cancel, annul, or declare void any proceeding held under this chapter. If the defect is substantial, the court shall of its own motion determine the rights of the parties, validate the proceeding, and assess the costs as justice may require, if the court finds cause for the validation or that the action should have been taken in the first instance and all parties interested are before the court. If for any reason an assessment is held void or set aside, the court shall immediately make an order directing the reassessment of a proper sum, with interest, against all property on which the assessment is held invalid. Upon filing the order with the drainage commission, reassessment shall be made and enforced in accordance with the order.
